What is Asylum?

Asylum is a legal protection granted to individuals who have suffered persecution or fear future persecution in their home country. If granted asylum, you will be allowed to live and work in the U.S. legally and may eventually apply for a green card.

You may qualify for asylum if you have been persecuted or have a well-founded fear of persecution based on:

  • Race

  • Religion

  • Nationality

  • Political opinion

  • Membership in a particular social group

Unfortunately, not every harm qualifies for asylum, and the application process is highly complex. Having an experienced attorney can make the difference between approval and denial.
